How do you calculate 10 years?

[JS28]

Hi everyone,

I am new here and just wanted some information:

1.) How should I calculate 10 years? is it excluding the time I was out of UK or based from the first date I enteredd UK? so for example, If I entered in 2003 then 10 years would have been this year?

2.) I made an extension of a student visa back in 2004 and this was done in person at PEO. everything was fine apart from one document so I wasn't denied but was sent to get the missing document. I was given 28 days. My extension was approved 20 days after my visa had expired. Will this affect my application since I lost the letter where it says 28 days on it?

Your response is much appreciated

Hi Vinny,

Thank you for your reply. I have been reading other people's post on here especially those who have been rejected due to a gap.

I did apply on time for my extension in 2004 but I was sent away to gather a document from Uni. How can I get a proof of this since I went through the PEO and I misplaced the letter from the HO?

Note that between 1st August 2003 and 29 February 2008, they were supposed to request extra details and give you 28 days to respond before declaring an application as invalid.
